Back to original languageAbout Claire
Having worked in the publishing and writing industry for over fifteen years, I put my experience at the service of authors by supporting them in their literary projects as a proofreader/editor and writer.
Becoming a writer, a chimera?
No, an accessible dream!
Writing is a craft that can be learned!
With a Master's degree in History and a Bachelor's degree in Modern Literature, my experience in diverse independent publishing houses, from Turkish and Russian to more generalist ones, naturally led me to study literary and historical texts and manuscripts, which remain my areas of expertise.
I believe in the creativity and talent of authors, sometimes overlooked by major publishing houses. But working on a manuscript requires time, energy, patience, and perseverance. I am here to guide you through the intricacies of publishing, ensuring your manuscript has every chance of being published.
In addition to history and literature, I have also been involved in other fields, including health - palliative care, sophrology - and corporate marketing for the Mines ParisTech engineering school, not to mention the supervision of a collective work on unemployment published by éditions de l'Atelier.

Education
- Bachelor's degree in Modern LiteratureSorbonne Paris III2010Il s'agissait de se former à la littérature et à l'étude des textes du XVIe siècle à aujourd'hui. Egalement par le biais de l'histoire de la littérature afin d'en avoir une vision exhaustive. Cette formation a été validée tout au long de ces trois années par des dissertations et des commentaires, ainsi que par des séries d'oraux, propres à la démarche universitaire.
- Master's degree in HistorySorbonne, Paris IV1996La formation consistait à l'étude de l'Histoire à travers celle des textes, matériau brut du travail de l'historien, au cours des siècles sur des thématiques spécifiques, l'étude exhaustive trop vaste de l'Histoire étant impossible. Commentaires de textes et dissertations ont jalonné ces années d'apprentissage, ainsi que des séries d'oraux qui complétaient la validation de chaque année d'étude. La dernière année, de maîtrise, a été axée essentiellement sur l'histoire contemporaine d'entre-deux-guerres, avec la rédaction d'un mémoire soumis, après lecture, à la validation orale d'un jury en fin d'année.
